How long do i have to keep my toe that is fractured buddy taped?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oh...Buddy...: The best answer is: log enough to allow the fractured toe to become stable. This can vary depending on which toe is fractured and the severity of the fracture. You can figure between 2-4 weeks. Buddy taping is not without potential problems, there is a learning curve, so be careful when starting. Do not tape it too tight or too loose. If concerns should arise simple consult with a specialist.
